I like Burke I think he could be a very good PG. Having a Burke\Bev combo is a lot better than what we have now. If he would come CHEAP I would be all over that

probably for a ny 2nd and Kpap His defence is AWFUL his shooting is HORRIFIC and his playmaking is questionable.
McHale's comments yet another sign that this isn't happening. Really wish Morey is playing the game behind the scenes and can surprise us, but every indication so far is that we are not doing anything significant.
Very true. Dragic could be in a Max demanding position with the Rockets right now if he had just taken the offer we made to Lin. He wasn't willing to bet on himself back then but now all of a sudden views himself as a franchise cornerstone piece. He's talented but as the Garth Brooks song goes, sometimes you got to thank God for unanswered prayers. Maybe our unanswered prayer will be in form of another player or two who are a better fit now and for the future.
What's Mchale suppose to say? "Some of these guys will be gone tomorrow. Hey guys, lets gets ready to practice, give it all you got!"
I hope Burke turns out well. Wish the best to the kid. thanx cygnus. Then it's for the next contract solely. When someone gets demoted and loses his starting job surely doesn't bode well for his future earnings. I think bev could go for 8 mil per btw. And I think there will be a couple teams interested..but first will have to see how the craziness of the big markets affects the most sexier names FAs. I think this summer and next it will be insane.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Story on Ty Lawson's unexcused absence from today's practice <a href="http://t.co/LchAQJ4U4Z">http://t.co/LchAQJ4U4Z</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Nuggets?src=hash">#Nuggets</a></p>— Chris Dempsey (@dempseypost) <a href="https://twitter.com/dempseypost/status/568180911801372672">February 18, 2015</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> Spoiler Nuggets guard Ty Lawson was a no-show to Wednesday's practice, the team's first after the longest all-star break in NBA history. Lawson was coming from Las Vegas, where the day before he posted a picture of himself on Facebook. Nuggets coach Brian Shaw was not happy with the unexcused absence. "We had a week off or nine days between games, and you expect everybody to be here," Shaw said. "It disrupts the planning of everything, in terms of you count on somebody in practice. But he's not here so we had to go without him." Lawson failing to show is the latest in a string of incidents that have upset management in the past two years. He had a domestic incident in the summer of 2013, a case that was eventually dropped. He missed a team breakfast meeting late last season and was held out of the starting lineup. In January he was arrested on suspicion of DUI. Lawson is the Nuggets best player, their most productive player, but he has trouble throughout his career staying on the right track. Shaw didn't know Lawson wasn't in the building until the players reported to the practice court and Lawson failed to show. He had not contacted the team telling them he would be a no-show. "When we had the coaches meetings this morning, all of the other guys came in and did their shooting," Shaw said. "And we (the coaches) came up right at the start of practice at 11 o'clock and that was the first that I noticed that he wasn't there." It's not clear if Lawson will be punished. "I know that there's things that happen," Shaw said. "Guys went all different directions after the last game, against (the L.A. Lakers). ... I don't know what the issues are, the travel issues. I haven't talked to anybody on that subject yet. "But you don't want wait to the last minute. I suggested to the guys that everybody try and get back in town (Tuesday), so if there were any cancellations or postponements or delayed flights that you still had time to get in."
I think we should try to talk about MCW. hes been in league for 1 year and has potential, he can pass, score and def is avg. but he can learn how to play that.
I could see him just being non-committal. I don't necessarily think he's telling the truth, it's just another tally for the signs that we aren't doing something significant, while there are very little signs pointing to the opposite.
It cuts both ways - he would be scrutinized pretty heavily if he doesn't deliver at least the playoffs to either franchise....but I guess at 29 as a basketball player, your just trying to take the money and run regardless of why someone is giving it to you.
